Book Description
Efforts to reform and restructure science and mathematics education need to be based on a sound assessment of current conditions, the rate of improvement, and problems in the system. This report focuses on indicators of the condition of science and mathematics education at state and national levels. The 1995 report presents new state indicators from the 1993-94 school year and examines trends, by state, from 1990 to 1994 on indicators of student achievement, content and instruction, and context and conditions for teaching. Four primary sources of data were used: The National Assessment of Educational progress (NAEP), Advanced Placement examinations, The Schools and Staffing Survey, and data from state departments of education. Among the student achieement indicators, the study found that proficiency on the NAEP in mathematics had a significant improvement: the percentage of grade 8 students scoring at or above the proficient level went from 19 percent in 1990 to 25 percent in 1992; between 1982 and 1992 scores of Black and Hispanic students improved more than that of Whites, although the gap is still substantial. Among the findings in the area of content and instruction, the study found that enrollments, especially minority and female students, in science and mathematics have risen dramatically. In the area of teacher preparation and supply, the study found that three-fifths of secondary teachers with a main assignment in mathematics had a college major in math or mathematics education. In the area of conditions and context for teaching, it was found that the average public school spent only $50 on science software and $100 on mathematics software in 1993-94. Appendixes provide detailed data and information by state. (MKR/AA)

Book Description
This report on science and mathematics indicators is intended to assist state, national, and local policymakers and educators in making informed decisions. This report focuses on science and mathematics indicators at state and national levels. The indicators are intended for use by policymakers and educators to assess progress in improving mathematics and science education in the schools. The 1997 report presents new state indicators from the 1995-96 school year and examines trends by state from 1990 to 1996 on indicators of student achievement, content and instruction, and context and conditions for teaching. Indicators were selected through consultation with state education leaders, science and mathematics educators, representatives of national professional organizations, and education researchers. (Contains 61 references, 32 tables, and 14 figures.) (ASK)

Book Description
This book presents a carefully developed monitoring system to track the progress of mathematics and science education, particularly the effects of ongoing efforts to improve students' scientific knowledge and mathematics competency. It describes an improved series of indicators to assess student learning, curriculum quality, teaching effectiveness, student behavior, and financial and leadership support for mathematics and science education. Of special interest is a critical review of current testing methods and their use in probing higher-order skills and evaluating educational quality.
